There are a lot of great old cars, motorbikes, and carts from well-known automakers at the Auto World Vintage Car Museum. The museum's primary goal is to get people who like old cars interested in and aware of them. Seeing the extensive collection of old cars, motorbikes, horse carriages, and antique and utility vehicles is worth seeing.

In a museum that Shri Pranlal Bhogilal Patel set up, the rare cars are on display in an imposing way. There is a beautiful collection of vehicles, such as Bentleys, Lagondas, Rolls-Royces, Cadillacs, Austins, Jaguars, Mercedes, and Auburns. It is a place worth exploring among the places to visit in Ahmedabad.

History

In 1927, Pranlal Bhogilal opened the Auto World Museum on his private estate of 2200 acres in Dastan. In 1987, he became the owner of the world's most enormous private garage by the Guinness Book of World Records.

He has more than 204 cars because he has been enthusiastic about them for a long time. Of these, 105 are in Ahmedabad. He made sure that all of the cars could run. 

Pranlal Bhogilal died in 2011; he was 73 years old. An essential member of the Maybach family, Ulrich Schmid-Maybach, is said to have flown to Ahmedabad from Germany in 2006 to persuade Pranlal Bhogilal to buy a 6-cylinder Maybach that his grandfather had created. Bhogilal would keep this prize.

About car museum

In this show, famous coachbuilders, such as Hopper, Barker, Gurney-Nutting, Fleetwood, and Lebaron, manufactured more than one hundred cars. 

People can also watch for Lancia cars, famous for having a single body that can hold a lot of weight. These include the Lancia Lambda, the Lancia Lambda 1926, and the Lancia Dilambda 1931. It's also interesting to see the 1927 Phantom I with a boat-tail roadster body. It would help to visit this stunning temple as part of your Ahmedabad tour package

Tourists would love to look at the displays in the different areas in the lush gardens. The museum has wagons pulled by horses, boat-tailed wooden speedsters, and shooting brake cars made for wealthy people. He also gave Chamunda, Chetak, Pushpak, Caesar, and Cleopatra their names.
